[01:35] anyone have knowledge on putting xubuntu on a macbook? [01:35] !mac [01:35] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [01:56] Hey, I just updated from XUbuntu 13.10 to 14.04, and now my XFCE desktop doesn't have any panels, and whenever I try to browse files I get a an 'Failed to execute default File Manager : Failed to execute child process "thunar" (no such file or directory)' error. Any ideas? [01:57] Tim-xubuntu97w: i would tty or terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and share any errors.. make sure you are up to date, and actually running 14.04 [01:58] I used a minimal CD to try and install Xubuntu on my Macbook Pro and now when I boot I just get a text command line. [01:58] Thanks, I'll try the dist upgrade. [01:58] Tim-xubuntu97w: then, i would try the guest account... if all is well in the guest account, then its likely the users config is bad [01:58] update gave no errors. [01:59] Yeah, I set up a new 'test' user, thinking that was the issue, but it was borked as well [01:59] Tim-xubuntu97w: then, i would try the live CD for 14.04, and see that it supports the hardware well, and do a backup of my data from it, and consider just fresh installing [01:59] I used a minimal CD to try and install Xubuntu on my Macbook Pro and now when I boot I just get a text command line. [01:59] Ca3sar: the minimal *is* just command line [01:59] ohhhhh... what do i do to get the normal desktop then? [02:00] if 14.04 is the problem, is there an easy way to roll back? (I suspect not) [02:00] Ca3sar: you can use a "normal" desktop installation iso.. or, see that you are connected to the internet and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [02:00] Tim-xubuntu97w: its not [02:01] Tim-xubuntu97w: you cant roll back.. but, i really dont think 14.04 is the problem.. [02:01] Yep. when I SSH in, it shows I'm in 14.04.1 [02:01] I would think not. [02:01] Tim-xubuntu97w: you should have your data backed up regardless, since all hard drives fail.. i would do that prior to anything else.. then, i would consider reinstallation the "easy" way.. [02:01] It very well could be related that I'm running headless and getting in via XRDP. [02:02] holstein: thanks I think it's working. I'll consult if I have any more issues [02:02] Tim-xubuntu97w: yes.. that could *all* be related. i would get native on the machine.. [02:02] Yeah, I've no data on teh machine, it's just a print server, and a place for me to fool around on. [02:02] I'll pull the machine and see if I run into issues 'native'. I hadn't heard that term before, I like it. :) [02:03] Thanks for the help guys. [02:03] Tim-xubuntu97w: then, try #ubuntu or the mailing list if you want to fool around and see what you have broken upgrading. otherwise, reinstallation should be the quickest [02:03] I think so. I just gotta get the printer shared the same.. [02:04] Thanks again for your insight! [02:04] i would probalby just do a headless, x-less command line machine for a printserver.. [02:05] I would too, but I want a desktop to fool around on as well. The samba/cups server is still running fine. [02:06] you can "fool around" with live CD's. and VM's [02:07] i say, set up the server for the task, and use live CD's to mess around.. or, dual boot.. or be prepared for your server to be broken [02:07] true.. true.. I'm gonna try re-running the X11RDP-o-Matic script I got from scarygliders. [02:07] You guys have a good night, thanks again for your help. [02:07] that script could be broken in 14.04.. or not support 14.04 [02:07] or, just be broken since the upgrade [02:08] It's not.. but it wasn't in 13.10 either. :) [02:08] i mean, its not a xubuntu script.. its not something that shipped with either [02:08] plug in a monitor, test.. reduce variables.. right now, you are testing many things at once.. [02:29] can i enable multitouch on my macbook with xubuntu? if i touch the trackpad with mutiple fingers the mouse will not move [02:30] Ca3sar: nothing about xubuntu or ubuntu or linux prevents apple from providing you support for multitouch in linux/xubuntu [02:30] Ca3sar: if its not working "out of the box" it may take some configuration.. or, it may just not work [02:31] you can reference.. [02:31] !mac [02:31] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [02:31] Oh okay [02:51] the task bar at the top keeps disappearing when i hover over it, and reappears when my mouse goes below the middle of the screen [02:51] Ca3sar: in XFCE? you have a panel at the top that is hiding? [02:52] holstein: yes [02:52] holstein: and sorry I'm very new here [02:52] Ca3sar: *if* thats the case, you can right click it, go into settings and set it to not auto hide [02:53] holstein: auto hide is unchecked [02:53] Ca3sar: then, its like not autohiding then [02:54] Ca3sar: could be virtual resolution making the screen "scroll".. [02:54] Ca3sar: try setting the screen resolution differently and test for that [02:54] it only goes away when the mouse touches it [02:54] Ca3sar: i dont understand [02:54] Ca3sar: nothing should go away when the mouse touches it.. [02:56] Ca3sar: please try and elaborate and share a screenshot [02:56] !paste [02:56] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [03:00] both images here http://imgur.com/jwbcrXi,9VFUza9#0 [03:02] Ca3sar: i would disable hiding.. [03:02] hiding isn't on? [03:02] Ca3sar: you can try in the guest account. you can remove the config for the panel.. you can remove the *entire* panel.. and make a new one that is not hiding.. there are many ways to deal with it [03:03] Ca3sar: the panel *is* hiding.. [03:03] Ca3sar: dont worry with what tick boxes are checked.. just keep trying things til it works.. [03:03] Ca3sar: right click.. add another panel.. test it.. [03:03] logout, login using the xfce session and not the xubuntu session [03:03] try the guest account.. [03:05] guest works. hm [03:05] so you can remove the config in your users /home.. [03:08] in my main account? how? [03:09] http://askubuntu.com/questions/224006/resetting-xfce-panels-to-default-settings outlines how i would do it [03:09] Ca3sar: ^ [03:26] Hi, running Xubuntu 12.04.3 here, I just noticed a process with no name in Task Manager, it appears idle with RSS 17MiB, however, it doesn't show-up in Gnome System Monitor, only in Task Manager (the one that comes with Xubuntu), does anyone else here have a process with no name? [03:30] wait, nevermind, I just checked the PID in Gnome System Monitor, and apparently it's just my Monitorix installation :) [03:31] weird how it displays as blank in Task Manager though [03:32] ..I have so many different system monitors installed XD <3 linux [08:36] hi , why doesn't my wireless show in network manager: lsusb: 04f3:0234 Elan Microelectronics Corp [09:01] how to see Notification history ? [09:15] alket: I don't think there is any kept [10:12] Can anyone speak of the stability of a xubuntu system encrypted w/ LUKS and with LVM enabled? [10:12] I seem to be having all kinds of problems. [10:15] hello, could anyone here help me remapping a key from my keyboard please ? i've tried xmodmap but it doesn't seem to work [10:17] enarion: you should pastebin your xmodmap config and explain what exactly you've tried so far [10:18] ok. i'm french, i use the keyboard french-alternative because i can write characters like œ with it. but the behaviour of the right control is not the same. instead of calling Control_R (like in classic french), the key is ISO_Level5_Shift, and it bothers me in some use cases. [10:19] so i've created a .xmodmaprc file containing keycode 105 = Control_R, and launched xmodmap .xmodmaprc in a terminal. [10:20] is there any option of clone or extend when external monitor attach? i've googled and found that i could set it from Display settings and do manual X-offset setting [10:21] and I don't know where I can find this xmodmap config file? [11:06] i'm back, sorry brainwash [11:06] my computer randomly poweroff sometimes [11:06] i don't know if you answered === lolz is now known as Guest61580 [14:11] Hello [14:33] When i use a usb memory and try to unmount it i get a message it is busy with a program tumblr or what it is.. [14:33] where can i find the irc web log? [14:33] And when i try to change language. I dont make it works. [14:55] adesst, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [14:58] How can i make the language works ? i try to change.. it not works. [15:54] Hello, quick question that I can only find outdated information for: Installed Xubuntu to use with cs:go native client, but the xubuntu-set minimum for mouse acceleration is .1 -- how do I completely disable mouse acceleration? [16:56] okilp [16:59] what is the 'root password' in xubuntu [17:00] There is no root password [17:00] !noroot [17:00] We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [17:01] xubuntu24w: also take a read at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:01] i wanted to install ESET antivirus for Linux but the installation procedure say it needs root pasword [17:02] Use your user password [17:02] the installation wont take it [17:02] Also is there a particular reason to install it? [17:03] Does your user account have administrative privileges? This is the one you created when installed ubuntu? [17:04] i have no idea about it [17:07] you can do "sudo su" to get "root" [17:07] ie. what you would have as "root" in say, fedora [17:07] sudo is safer === jhenke_ is now known as jhenke
